[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 451995, member: 84"] Well, I still wish I could find a photo of my grade school before they let it fall into disrepair..........Odds are if I actually went back home and went to the library I probably could find one........IF I could find the library.....seems they tore that down too and built a new one somewhere. ugh And it still makes me sad that it is gone forever. But you know what?? From kindergarden until I left the school after 6th grade there was this painting that hung on the hall outside of the office. It was of a little girl maybe about 4 yrs old sitting in a chair wearing a dress and red canvas sneakers eating cookies and milk. From talking with other people of various generations, that painting hung there forever, probably until they finally shut it down as a school and long before I was born. I have LOVED that painting since I first laid eyes on it age the tender age of 5 my first day of kindergarden. A few years ago I squealed in utter delight as I discovered that same painting at a yard sale for 5 bucks. I don't know where the original is hung but I believe both my school and mine are original prints of this painting........and I've seen it hanging in other schools as well. It's now hanging on my dining room wall. I'd forgotten that I'd purchased it with several other paintings at the sale.........so had husband fetch it out for me, I cleaned it up a tad (was a bit dusty lol ) and now it's one of the center pieces of the room. So I may not ever get a photo of the school. But I have the print that I've loved all my life that floods me with hundreds of memories from the 7 yrs I spent in the school every time I look at it. :bigsmile: [/QUOTE]
